I think regular FDM printers may have problems with the fine detail required for some pogo pins. I know mine can't quite reliably get holes <2mm in diameter, for instance. I guess you could use a smaller diameter nozzle.

A great trick for small holes on a FDM printer is to not print them circular but square or triangular. You'd be surprised how small you can get fairly accurate holes.

I've always printed on size (so usually undersized because of fdm overflow) and then drilled out with the correct size.
